So. if my understanding is correct, for 2009 cents we will have P and D mint mark in copper plated zinc, P and D mintmark in French bronze and S mintmark in French bronze, times 4 designs for a total of 20 different cents. Am I understanding correctly? Is there a possibility of P and D French bronze in both satin and regular, or only satin?

Not quite, I believe what we'll see is ALL of the french bronze coins will be S mint only. Should be a total of 8 coins in bronze, a proof and an unc for each design....all will have the S mint mark.

So that actually makes 24 coins- P and D zinc in regular and satin, 2 mints x 4 designs x 2 finishes = 16, plus 8 S mints, 4 proof and 4 uncirculated?

We're going to need a new album just for the 2009 cents.

This is from the subscription section on the USMint.gov web site Quote:The 2009 United States Mint Uncirculated Coin Set® includes two envelopes of 18 coins each; one from the United States Mint at Denver and the other from the United States Mint at Philadelphia, for a total of 36 coins. Each envelope contains four Presidential $1 Coins, six quarters from the District of Columbia and United States Territories Quarter Program, as well as four Lincoln cents (with an alloy consisting of 95% copper, 3% zinc and 2% tin that matches the alloy used in the 1907 cent), the Jefferson nickel, the Roosevelt dime, the Kennedy half-dollar, and the Golden Dollar featuring Sacagawea. This would seem to indicate that there will be eight different Satin finish french bronze cents, and there will be eight different copper plated zinc versions for circulation. There is similar language in the subscription information for the proof and silver proof sets stating they will have the french bronze coins. Edited by Conder101

So we're back to only 20 different Lincolns this year. Guess with that few, they don't get their own album.

This supports my opinion that the coins from the Satin Finish Mint Sets do not belong (and never will belong) in the "business strike" coin album holes!  |

Got to agree with you on that jbuck. Wish they did not even confuse the issue with the satin finish coins.

That is exactly my point! Composition or not, the satin finish coins are as different from business strike coins as proof coins! Satin finish coins, in my opinion, belong in a hole labeled as such. Changing the composition actually reinforces the issue that they have always been different from business strikes.

Sorry I misunderstood your first post. I thought you were saying that you DIDN'T need to have both business strike finish and Satin finish on the 2005 - 2008 coins. I agree with you they ARE different coins from the business strikes and if you are collecting both Uncs and proofs you should include the satin finish coins as well.
